AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.

Every decade or so, we go through this. Waves & waves of women sharing their stories of sexual assault & harassment after an especially horrific case hits the headlines, such as the Cornell 7. And every decade or so, what changes besides collective retraumatisation? open.substack.com/pub/feminist...

I was listening to the conti files podcast where they talked about the attack on Costa Rica. This is where I think that ai-based attacks will come into their own. It won't be one particular attack that will be the problem it will be the volume of simultaneous attacks that AI will allow

I’ve been cooking for a while, cause I’m old. I’ve eaten at some nice places. The answer to better tasting food is usually more salt. It enhances flavors, right up to the point where it’s over salted and everything is trash. Learn where that point is, and ride the line.

I'm really looking forward to Neuromancer coming out. Apple TV has been doing *a lot* of excellent Sci-Fi productions (Silo, Dark Matter, Foundation, Invasion, Murderbot, For All Mankind, etc.), and I think they will invest heavily in this one, just because of its Sci-Fi provenance and importance.

What everyone has to prepare for is the constitutional crisis to accelerate if the Democrats take the House and the Senate. Vought has been allowed by the Republicans to act with impunity, so have he will continue to ignore Congress. This is why you have to impeach him immediately.

I think people like to see joyfulness and friendliness from political leaders instead of just dour seriousness all the time. Not much of that in Colorado politics (either party). Hick used to have it. Cory Gardner had it. Mike Johnston is probably the best version of it now.

Something big may be happening: Trump's world-historical misrule may be creating the conditions for the emergence of a coalition similar to the one that ousted Viktor Orban earlier this year: Anti-corruption, anti-authoritarian, pro-democracy. I made this case here: newrepublic.com/article/2161...

When I worked for GE Appliances on their refrigerators this would be considered a career-ending mistake; the leadership I worked under felt very strongly that the device should work. I imagine that Samsung is about to crash-invest in their SWQA process. Speculation below:
